Lack
of training in getting the vital sign or worst, not knowing the right way to
take the vital sign could contribute to an inaccurate vital sign reading. For example,
if you are tasked to get the respiration of the patient, the rule is to count
inhale and exhale as one. But if you were not able to know this rule, and you
counted inhale as one and exhale as another, this could impair the vital
reading.
